What is this food?
AI-assisted Boiled eggplant (talong). It’s a starchy vegetable that’s usually eaten as a side or mixed into viands.
Why it matters to health
AI-assisted Eggplant is a good choice for everyday meals because it has dietary fiber (1.5 g per 100 g) to help you feel full and support healthy digestion. It also has low calories (25 kcal) and very low fat, which makes it easy to include in your 3 meals plus 1–2 snacks a day. The sugar (2 g) is naturally present, and the sodium (1 mg) is low when boiled—so it’s a nice option if you’re watching salt. Since it has some carbohydrates (4.9 g), pairing it with lean protein and healthy fats helps make the meal more balanced.
Healthier tips
AI-assisted - Keep the serving around 1–2 cups cooked (about 100–200 g) as a side, then add protein (fish, chicken, tofu) and a small amount of rice or carbs if needed.
- Flavor with garlic, onion, tomatoes, vinegar, herbs instead of salty sauces; if using bagoong or patis, use a smaller amount.
- If you’re eating it as part of a viand, aim for a balanced plate: half vegetables, one-quarter protein, one-quarter rice/starches.
- For snacks, pair boiled eggplant with plain yogurt or boiled eggs (instead of sugary dips) to stay satisfied.
